Aiming to be done and ready to submit approval pics to the 501st on the weekend of the 24th. I'm waiting on a Kcr7pr harness, a 3D printed sidearm from AprilStorm, a finished EE3 from Sidewinder and a cape/braids combo from Woodman. Then I'm done for now. No upgrading for awhile haha. Though I love the look of the new FPH2 so that might be a must upgrade around the holidays.

As always let me know what you guys think! Armor is taped in place in this photos and not properly attached. I'm not sure if I want to go snaps or bolts for the attachment. Since this stuff is vacuumformed plastic and not fiberglass I'm not worried about it being damaged if it fell.... though that wouldn't be good haha.

Your progress is amazing!
And you have the PERFECT build for Boba Fett!
One suggestion, though - trim the sides of the armor THIN! It's a detail alot of people miss, but it REALLY makes a difference, in my opinion.

Amazing job Wes. Just starting out and I'm crazy jealous of your progress

I thought about the snaps but now I'm leaning more towards Chicago screws. Some Velcro for safety can't hurt either.

Looking forward to your armor paint up!

Question. Does darksides beacon come lit up or did you rig that?

Thanks man!!! Your patients will be tested but you'll love every second of it!

His beacon comes with the light installed (for a little extra) but you still have to solder the diffuser to the wires of the battery box. Speaking of, I haven't done this part yet. Waiting on some help from a buddy.

I DEFINITELY recommend the light though. Just like with the lights in the chest display, I heard it gets an even better reaction from people.

Keep up the GREAT work!

Thanks Rubio!! Means a lot! I was already thinking about trimming it down a bit. I noticed in ESB the armor is actually pretty thin so I'll make it work

Here's a little update before the big one next week... I finished one of April Storm's 3D printed sidearms. Came in 4 pieces of hollow plastic. Really light and good for trooping (or so I think). Here is a before and after comparison.
